So, bottom line is that the 210 excels at close range shooting, whereas the 250SA excels at anything farther away.Typically, camera bodies with shorter flange focal distance can be adapted more readily to lenses with longer flange focal distance. Furthermore, the 210 combined with the Contax 1.4X Mutar creates a close focusing 300mm lens with effective aperture of F5.6 that produces stunning image quality, and reason enough to keep this lens. The 210 gave us much softer bokeh and tonality that is desirable in a lot of portrait work. This is much too far a lot of portrait work that we prefer to do at this focal length, which the Contax 210 lens allowed us to do since it can focus down to roughly 4.5 feet. The second shortcoming of the 250SA is its poor close focusing distance of about 8.5 feet. The Contax 645 focusing sensor seems limited to about F4 for reliable focus confirmation in dimmer light, beyond which it works but makes more errors. This makes it harder to confirm focus in dim lighting situations, whether with the camera electronics or your own eyes. The first shortcoming is the slowness of the lens, since its widest aperture is only F5.6. However, it had two serious shortcomings for us, which is why we also needed the 210 lens. Technically, the 250SA is superior in image quality, especially at long distances with noticeably higher sharpness and contrast, richer colors and no fringing or CA. I have owned both lenses at the same time and used them both with the Contax 645 along with the Aptus 65, Phase One P30+ and Sinar 75LV backs.
